Today I learned about creative commons. This site allows users to share their work with others. No need to fear copyright laws, because collaboration is the main principle in creative commons. My 23 things is based on the Stephen Abram article titled 43 Things I (or You) might want to do this year (Information Outlook - Feb 2006). It was modified, for APSU students but the credit was given to the person who created it first.
After learning about creative commons I can teach my students about copyright laws and how it can negatively affect them. The internet should be utilized not plagiarized. Students should not copy and paste articles and submit it as his or her own. Also as a future teacher I can utilize internet resources for my classroom and give credit to those who created it first. I understand that because of the limited resources educators sometimes may use "fair use" but ultimately educators should set the example and do what is correct.
